' board that will collect solid particles. when the wash panrin which dishes have been washed is emptiedfupony the sink. Further objects and advantages of my invention will v appear as the specification proceeds.

The preferred form of myinvention is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing in which- Figure l shows a strainer, f

Figure 2, a vertical sectionptaken along line 2-2 of Figure' l, and Vshowing the strainer in connection with the sink and Figure 3, an enlarged sectional detail view plan view of 'my sink illustrating the'means by which a strainer is removably fastened in the drain board.

While I have shown only,L the preferred form of the invention it shouldv be understood that variouschanges or modifications may be made within the scope of the claims hereto attached, without departing from'theA f on the ledge and projecting interiorly therespirit of the invention. f

The drain board l ispreferably made of such a size as to be substantially co-extensive with the bottom of the sink 2 and isprovided with cleats 3 at the bottom face adapted to hold the boardin lspaced relation relative to the bottom of the sink. Thus, when rvthe drain board is removed from the sink, there are no projections in the sinkv to interfere with the cleaning thereof, as wouldl be the case, if the cleats 3 for supporting the drain board were attached to the sink; Along the rear edge of the board I provide two apertures 4t o-ver which strainers 6 are placed, the apertures arrangedy in Such a manner as to be directly below the two faucets normally provided in connection with aI sink so that water discharged from the faucets strikes the strainers and is thereby prevented from splashing. Along the left side edge of the board I provide a. second strainer 7 which latter is made rather elongated and is intendedjto serve the purpose of allowing a wash Y pan i0 be emptied thereon so that the 'Solid n matter that hasassembled in the wash pan during the washing ofthedishes is collected 'i thereon and is sink drain. y

My strainers are preferably secured to the prevented from reaching the board in such a manner as to be. readily removable and one way lof accomplishing this f is illustrated in Figure 3' from which itapp ears that a. ledge 8 is provided in the mari` gin of the'opening and has a frame 9 resting y thereon which latter projects internally into the opening as shown at 11; A second frameV l l2 is adapted for introduction into the open'- ing from the bottom and maybe pressed against the vprojecting section ofthe first Screen by means of screws 13 and nuts 14, the screen 16 being'` confined between the two frames. The two frames and the strainer may be assembled outside ofthe board and may be inserted thereafter. It may be read .inl

ily removed as one unit by reversing the board and tapping one edge thereof against a support. l n

I claim ,y y i 1.,A'sinkstrainer of the character described compri-sing a board dimensioned tof substantially fill :the bottom of the sink, ymeans for supporting the board in spaced relation tothe bottom of the sink, the board being formed with a! large opening and a` ledge at the border thereof, a framezresting of, a strainer, and a second frame adapted to bepressed againstlthe projecting portion` of the first frame and to clamp the strainer therebetween. v 2.
